Country: Canada; Region: British Columbia; Sub-Region: Okanagan Valley; Size: 750ml; The Viognier and Semillon for this white blend were picked on the same day in Osoyoos. Most whites are blended after they have been vined separately. Making the wines separately leads to the winemaker having more control over the end product. I prefer to ferment them together. The Viognier and Semillon were pressed o together and underwent a three week fermentation at low temperatures to preserve the aromatics. Viognier 57, Semillon 38, Muscat Blanc 5.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; Bright and youthful straw-yellow color. The aromas are of lime zest, ripe pear, nectarine and pineapple with caramel, butterscotch, honey and vanilla perfume from the barrel fermentation and sur lie aging. The flavors are complex and rich with citrus, stone fruit and barrel toastiness gracefully balanced by fresh acidity, creating a very flavorful and wonderfully balanced Chardonnay.

Aromas of black currant, plum and black cherry are lifted by a bouquet of vanilla, toasted pastry and spice from a year of barrel aging.

Chateau D'Yquem, 'Y', SB/ Semilllon Bordeaux 2013

Country: France; Size: 750ml; Pierre Lurton continued the evolution of "Y". Now certain Sauvignon Blanc plots are picked at the beginning of the harvest, and Sémillon grapes from the best clay soils are picked just as the skins are turning a pinkish colour, suggesting optimum ripeness. The teams are careful to conduct a light pressing. Ageing on lees takes place in barrels, a third of which are new. The final blend is made after tasting, but it is typically 75 Sauvignon Blanc and 25 Semillon. The wines are gorgeous - powerful and rich, as one would expect from such noble terroir. They are always aromatic, complex and wonderfully balanced. "Y" 2013 is initially bursting with Sancerre character, but there is also something tropical; hints of apricots, exotic fruits and just a hint of yeast. The palate is surprisingly broad, with a mass of pear, orchard fruit and rose petals. It is offered in original wooden cases of six bottles. Please register your interest as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Chateau Haut Bergey, Cabernet Blend Pessac Leognan 1999

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Medium-full colour. Some oak on the nose. Some substance but it lacks a little richness. A bit four-square. Medium body. Decent ripe fruit on the palate. Quite sweet, in fact. Balanced. It lacks a bit of real finesse but quite good.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; Chateau Montelena is one of the most ICONIC winery's in the world!!! The deep garnet color of this wine hints at the big extraction and dark flavors to follow. Very rich aromas of pipe tobacco, chocolate and caramel beautifully complement the black currant and ripe black cherry fruit. The palate opens soft but builds big and fast, showing a great acid backbone, moderate weight tannins, and a mouthfeel that is full but not heavy or overwhelming. Rich, ripe, sweet black cherry dominates the fruit and is nicely complemented with plum and red berry high tones. Barrel spice is prominent on the finish.

Venge Vineyards, 'Scout's Honor', Zinfandel Blend Napa Valley 2012

Country: USA; Region: California; Size: Magnum (1.5L); The 2012 vintage was epic across all varietals for us—perfection not experienced since the 1997 vintage. Diligence and patience in the vineyards paid off with spectacular results. This vintage is a gorgeous assemblage of crushed blue herbs, violets, black cherry, licorice and anise scents that fill the room. The palate is pure richness from the Zinfandel with loads of black cherry, pepper spice, and enveloping masculinity of char and tannins from the Syrah, Charbono and Petite Sirah, with no harshness through the transition of the flavors. Seamless balance and mouth coating deliciousness are found throughout the palate, with an extra long finish and a slight "kick" of barrel tannin at the end.

Grower Champagne

While large champagne houses may source grapes throughout the entire champagne region of France, grower champagne is grown and bottled by a single estate, from their own vines. Rather than offering a particular consistent house style as found with bigger producers, these unique wines have been described as artisanal and terroir focused, offering a distinctly different experience.

Montaudon, Champagne Blend Reims NV

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: 375ml; It looks beautiful: golden straw-yellow with a foaming necklace of tiny and long lasting bubbles. Initially very expressive, it delivers reminiscent of floral aromas (linden), then of ripe fruits (pear and apple). The attack is clear and franc. It develops a symphony of freshfruit taste (pear). Note the fine balance between distinction and forcefulness.

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: 750ml; The goal at Hubert Paulet is to showcase the particularities of Rilly's chalky terroir by working the soil using only natural viticultural practices. One such practice, admittedly an unusual sight in the region, is to leave grass growing between his rows of vines up until harvest time. All of the fruit is hand-harvested, and fermented in both tile and stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out depending upon the vintage and particular qualities of the wine. The champagnes age sur lattes from 28 – 72 months depending upon the wine.

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: 750ml; Initially the wine offers white flower aromas (honeysuckle, lilac) and citrus notes as well as fresh butter and cream. As it opens up the wine reveals spicy notes of ginger and lemongrass. The palate is lively with a delicate effervescence. In combination, these aromas, flavors and sensations deliver a pure, creamy and silky textured wine with a long vibrant finish.

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: 750ml; Nose with apple a hints of cider, spice, and some mineral. Very dry palate with quite pronounced mineral note of a "mineral water character" and with a stoniness, green apple, high acidity, and aftertaste with mineral.

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: Magnum (1.5L); 60 Pinot Noir and 40 Chardonnay. This champagne Brut Grand Cru is a blend of 60 of Pinot Noir and 40 of Chardonnay.

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: 750ml; An intense delicate wine that reveals a precise, pure combination of sugared flowers, cocoas, finely toasted hazelnuts, and candied citrus fruits. The texture is infinitely silky, concentrated and flavoursome with an explosion of ripe fruit, red fruit, white chocolate, caramel and viennoiserie typical of Cristal. It is a powerful and elegant wine with a crescendo of sensations that attains a true harmony of flavours and perfect integration. The end is fresh with a fine bitterness which almost lends the wine "crispness".

Country: France; Region: Champagne; Size: 750ml; This vintage is the jewel in our range. It deserves particular attention. It is produced using exceptional grapes only always with the aim of keeping the character of the vintage harvest. The wine making process is different firstly because it is completely produced in 225-litre casks (2 to 3 wines). The blend is always the same: 70 Chardonnay and 30 Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes. This is decided upon following a rigorous selection of the grape musts collected during the grape harvest. Primary fermentation takes place in casks. We do not carry out malolactic fermentation, which gives us wines with fine, elegant aromas. The wines are simply topped up and racked between harvesting and bottling, which takes place six months after picking. Allowing the wine to work in casks for six months creates a great richness, beautiful structure and complexity in this wine. This blend's natural acidity, despite a minimum of ten years maturing in our cellars, brings out the year's quintessence while maintaining exceptional freshness. We always use small very dosages to let the wine express itself! This wine's structure means it even benefits from decanting, which encourages an explosion of aromas.

Like Kesey's novel the 2012 transports you by way of the characters/appellations to a time and a place that we will celebrate for years to come.

Country: USA; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; A big wine from the Barrett family (14.2 alcohol), this 2003 exhibits earthy black currant fruit, the restrained but intense Montelena style, full body, good richness and impeccable balance, purity and density. The color is a healthy dark ruby/purple and the wine shows lots of cassis. In spite of the restrained aromatics, the palate is rich, full-bodied, substantial and persuasive. This 2003 is approachable now, but it will be even more gorgeous 15, 20 and 25 years from now. This is a heritage wine from this great estate in northern Napa Valley.

Country: USA; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; A classic, old style Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Montelena's 2004 reveals beautiful purity along with lots of creme de cassis fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and a long finish. By Montelena standards, it is a bit more powerful than usual (14.1 alcohol). These wines have an uncanny ability to age for 2-3 decades, and while the 2004 is slightly more forward and evolved than other vintages have been (2001 and 2002), it should last for 20-25 years.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Revealing sweeter tannin and a softer, riper, fuller-bodied style, the 2006 Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a beautiful, classic wine with loads of berry fruit, an earthy character, and a spicy, pure, rich finish. The silkiness of the tannins suggests this 2006 will be drinkable in several years. It is another candidate for nearly two decades of aging.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Good deep ruby. Lovely lift and purity to the aromas of cassis, violet and bitter chocolate. Juicy, vibrant and intense; less dense than the 2007 but more perfumed in the mid-palate. Very fine-grained wine, finishing long and aromatic, with firm tannic bite and a late note of bitter chocolate. "Two thousand eight was an impossible year to make 15 wines with a 4.0 pH in Napa Valley," said Bo Barrett, adding that "it's more fun to be working in the classical world. In 2008, there's less jam to block the terroir and minerality of the vineyard.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Montelena's 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate wraps around the palate with serious depth. Even with all of its intensity, the 2009 has a silkiness that makes it incredibly delicious at this early stage. Red berries, flowers, tobacco and sweet herbs all flesh out on the generous, radiant finish. While many 2009s are a bit tight today, Montelena's 2009 Estate is showing very nicely, although it is keeping some cards close to the vest. I imagine the 2009 will start to enter its prime drinking window around age 8-10 and drink well for at least another decade beyond that.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Loaded with rich aromas of black fruits and spices. Notes of blackberry solicit memories of hot summer afternoons while clove, allspice, vanilla, and hints of cocoa tease with thoughts of baked goodies. The black fruits from the nose are evident throughout the palate, and are complemented by lively, red fruit characteristics brought forward by the core of bright acidity. There are loads of fine grain tannins that give mass to the wine without being aggressively astringent, hinting at the delicacy and suppleness that will come with time in the cellar.

Chateau Montelena, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2008

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; Chateau Montelena is one of the most ICONIC winery's in the world!!! The deep garnet color of this wine hints at the big extraction and dark flavors to follow. Very rich aromas of pipe tobacco, chocolate and caramel beautifully complement the black currant and ripe black cherry fruit. The palate opens soft but builds big and fast, showing a great acid backbone, moderate weight tannins, and a mouthfeel that is full but not heavy or overwhelming. Rich, ripe, sweet black cherry dominates the fruit and is nicely complemented with plum and red berry high tones. Barrel spice is prominent on the finish.

Chateau Montelena, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2009

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is wonderfully supple and fragrant. Silky tannins frame a core of expressive dark red fruit. Floral and spice notes are nicely woven throughout. This textured, gracious Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to age gracefully for another 7-10 years, but it is awfully good right now. The blend includes 7 Merlot and 1.5 Cabernet Franc in 2009.

Chateau Montelena, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2010

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; Good bright red. Perfumed, rather cool aromas of cassis, menthol, fresh herbs, flowers, anise and fennel. Juicy, spicy and tight but not hard, with a pungent core of acidity and an impression of briary, earthy minerality giving the wine plenty of personality. This firmly tannic cabernet smells a bit raw in the way of a young barrel sample.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is meant for up-front, immediate drinkability, and is primarily designed for restaurants. It reveals Montelena's damp earthiness and spiciness as well as a dark ruby color, no evidence of oak, and medium-bodied, spicy flavors. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; This wine shows deep dense plum color with great density. The nose opens with anise and spice before moving into rich layers of blackberry and cherry compote. All that great concentrated fruit is beautifully complemented with barrel tones of vanilla and clove. It is quite youthful and lively on the palate with a good firm acid core - great for food pairing - and abundant velvety tannin. Complex layers of black fruits through the mid palate, with good barrel spice underlayment throughout, are nicely complemented by bright red fruit on the finish.

Continuum by Tim Mondavi, Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill 2011

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Another strong effort by Tim Mondavi from this relatively new project on Pritchard Hill, the 2011 Continuum's final blend was 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12 Petit Verdot, 11 Cabernet Franc and 2 Merlot. Harvested late, between October 17 and November 3, it spent 19 months in 85 new French oak. The wine's impressive deep ruby/plum/purple color is followed by notes of blackcurrants, black cherries and spring flowers. Like most 2011s, it has evolved early, but it is a medium to full-bodied beauty that represents one of the most successful wines of the vintage.

Rating: RP 92; Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; The fruit for the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Hershey Vineyard was picked on November 2, and it is certainly one of the stars of the vintage, reflecting the success Howell Mountain enjoyed in this vintage. It possesses excellent ripeness along with mulberry, blueberry and black raspberry fruit intermixed with hints of wet rock and graphite. Ripe, lush and medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin, this beauty, because of the precociousness and forward character of the 2011s, is best consumed over the next 10-12 years.

Rating: RP 98; Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; This is a sensational superstar from Howell Mountain with an inky purple color, notes of mocha, mulberry, crème de cassis, graphite and spring flowers. It is dense, full-bodied, opulent and concentrated with sweet but moderate tannin. This is a stunner that should drink well for another 25 or so years.

It's a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot (888 cases) that spent 20 months in 70% new French oak. The wine is deep ruby/purple, exhibits crème de cassis notes with some incense and subtle charcoal. It's medium to full-bodied, silky smooth and clearly meant to be the wine that most consumers would want to drink earlier than the more saturated and denser single-vineyard wines. This should drink nicely for at least another 10-15 years.

Darioush, 'Darius II', Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2012

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Size: 750ml; A very deep garnet color with viscous heft. A beautiful bouquet of cassis, cherries and rose petals. The palate has a purity of fruit that is rare – delicate on the front palate, lush fruit in the middle with great structure and acidity that ensures balance. Black currant, plum, rainier cherries, graphite and stone minerality on the finish. This is a big Napa Valley fruit forward Cab at its finest. It has a strong tannic structure indicative of a wine that is young and will get better with time.

Rating: RP 95+; Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Pure sensuality in the glass, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard is going to be nearly impossible to resist in its youth. At the same time, the Kayli Morgan has a track record of developing beautifully in bottle, and I imagine that is exactly what will happen here. Cedar, spice box, cassis and plums burst from the glass in this impressive, layered wine. A hint of mocha develops later, but it is pretty clear the 2009 is playing its cards close to the vest. There is enough inner tension to make me think the 2009 has a very bright future. Jayson Woodbridge describes 2009 as a year with a tiny crop and equally small berries. It is also the year Woodbridge brought in a helicopter to dry out the fruit after the mid-October typhoon dropped a huge amount of rain on Napa Valley.

Rating: RP 100; Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; A perfect wine is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Arc Vineyard from Woodbridge's property on Howell Mountain. This is an amazingly deep, rich, blueberry, blackberry and mulberry scented and flavored wine with skyscraper-like texture, remarkable intensity, again great, great purity, and the new oak completely concealed by the lavish and extravagant amounts of fruit. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, as are all these wines, the Ark Vineyard is certainly another blockbuster wine with no hard edges that comes across like a flawlessly constructed dress from an haute couture house in Paris.

Rating: 93 - WS; Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; A big entry and a resounding affect. The nose, middle, and length of this wine are all massive! The aromatics deliver a full force spectrum of uber-ripe red fruit. The part that is most impressive is the seamless balance of aroma with the thick mixture of jam, blackberry preserves, warm barrel vanilla and hints of sweet cooking spice. To Kalon continually not only delivers the goods in aromatics, but it is most known for its pure, velvety fruit on the palate. Rich red cherry and currants blend with barrel caramels and espresso cake crust. The flavor plants itself on the palate and stretches for over 60 seconds of pure exhilaration. I hesitate to say that this may be my finest winemaking to date. This is a wonderful example of a wine with style, poise and polish. It shows finesse and focus with aromas of bright black cherry, kirsh, lively oak vanillin and even light red fruit incense. The flavors are balanced with rounded cherry and an abundance of sweet red fruit. It is a tactile wine with superb structure, but again reserved and refined in nature which is a trademark of the To Kalon property.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon displays the graphite, cassis and floral notes one expects from this great site. Supple in the mouth, lighter than expected, but still very well balanced, easygoing and accessible (one of the positive attributes of the top 2011s), this charming Cabernet is perfect for near-term drinking.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; As winemaker Kirk Venge suggests, this is the "Mac-Daddy" of them all. The nose is pushy and fragrant as it wafts from the glass; notes of ripe strawberry preserve, rhubarb, crushed herbs, hints of Marmite and a touch of espresso make this one special, and worth every penny of the 100 new French oak used to age it. The mouthfeel is always what captivates with To Kalon. Finishing out for over 1.5 minutes after the taste, this is a keeper: It should be a 15 to 20 year wine.

Opus One, Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2011

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Following the blockbuster 2010 vintage, the 2011 is made in a far different style. While 2010 was intense, rich and lush, the cool weather in 2011 made this style of wine impossible. Winemakers who fought this had trouble making a balanced wine without any green characteristics. Winemakers who worked with what the cards dealt, and embraced the style of the vintage, created wines that will be a pleasure to drink. This blend of 71 Cabernet Sauvignon, 11 Merlot, 9 Petit Verdot, 8 Cabernet Franc and 1 Malbec contains the lowest percentage of Cabernet ever in an Opus One bottling. True to its roots, this wine smells and feels like a classic Bordeaux wine. A great short to mid-term cellaring candidate, the 2011 is even showing well right now.

Scarecrow, Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2014

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; The consistency of this vintage during the growing season has, not surprisingly, manifested itself in the overall impression of the finished wine. Lovely cassis, black plum, violets, dried blackberries on the vine, baking spices, chestnut, and just a hint of fresh earth interconnect in the very forward aromas of this unmistakably Rutherford Cabernet. On the palate, the entry is balanced and elegant, polished but with a clear density, a flavor core that adds gravitas and suggests ageability. The finish is of wild plums, black cherry jam, and a hint of warm vanilla.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; Possibly the Cabernet Sauvignon of the vintage is Shafer's 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select. Last year I thought it was a strong effort, but it's even better now that it's been bottled. With an opaque black/purple color and notes of subtle burning charcoal embers, blueberry, blackberry and graphite, the wine has a certain Bordelais minerality, but then the richness of Napa kicks in. It's full-bodied (somewhat unusual for a 2011) with lighter tannins, and no doubt the wine will be on a faster evolutionary track than vintages such as 2010, 2012 and 2013. Nevertheless, the Shafers and Elias said this was the toughest vintage they'd ever experienced. To be able to produce a compelling wine like this is a testament to their extraordinary skills and craftsmanship.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; The benefit of a cooler growing season like 2011 is that it preserves the nuanced flavors in the fruit. Scents of rosemary, sage, cracked pepper, black olive and soy in the wine remind me of a juicy marinated steak fresh off the grill. The inherent flavors of the site:, dark berries, cassis, cocoa, crushed rock, fresh notes of juniper berry and bay leaves are all extremely well delineated in this wine.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; A complex series of aromas unfold in the glass, from warm berries and concentrated cassis, to chocolate fudge, violets, and barrel spices. The deep, dark fruit and chocolate flavors are surrounded by a velvety texture and fine tannins that linger on the palate.

Country: U.S.A.; Region: California; Sub-Region: Napa Valley; Size: 750ml; The 2012 CASK 23 combines the signature perfume notes of FAY vineyard with the structure and minerality of S.L.V. The wine opens with pleasing aromas of black cherry, dark plum, espresso and spice. The wine has a rich, ripe fruit entry that leads to a concentrated core of dark fruit (plum, black cherry, dried currant). The palate is expansive, coating the whole mouth with rich fruit, full and sweet tannins and lingering flavors mocha and black tea.

Country: USA; Region: Oregon; Sub-Region: Willamette Valley; Size: 750ml; Moffett Vineyards has three different vineyards under contract around the Willamette Valley. The Reserve bottling is a barrel selection from all three sites. These small sites offer great variety in flavors, soils and microclimates. The Dundee Hills vineyard, called Terrarossa, has that dark red volcanic soil that gives the wine nice spice and bright red fruit. The Eola-Amity Hills vineyard call Bieze has shallower basalt soil from ancient lava flows and give off darker fruit flavors then the Dundee Hills. Finally, the Yamhill-Carlton vineyard called Monk's Gate sits of on old marine sediments that are rich with nutrients but the soil drains extremely well forcing a deep root structure. This is also the warmest of the sites producing big rich wines with lots of structure.

Farmed to Demeter Biodynamic discipline, from the original blocks dating back to 1990, it is a blend of Hedges Estate and Magdalena parcels, both under family control. This 100 Cabernet Sauvignon displays true expression of Red Mountain terroir and tells the "story of the season" with each unique vintage. Demeter Biodynamic allows no herbicides, pesticides, or synthetic fungicides to be used in farming the land, nor any commercial yeasts to be present during fermentation. There is a commonality in authentic wines such as La Haute Cuvée-they are intellectually provoking and wild, created under the laws of nature. La Haute Cuvée is the first Demeter-certified Biodynamic Cabernet Sauvignon ever made in Washington State.

Country: USA; Region: Washington State; Size: 750ml; Our estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful but elegant, full-bodied wine that is grown primarily along the southwest ridge of our vineyard, in soils that are deep and loamy but contain many small rocks of fractured basalt, concreted ash and even some granite from Missoula flood erratics. The vines produce small berries with bountiful flavor, concentration and intensity, but also a good degree of finesse, excellent structure and layers of complexity that will continue to develop during extended bottle aging for those who want to cellar and age their wines. This wine spends approximately 22 months in 95 new French oak after a long, warm fermentation and extended skin contact on certain lots. We are expanding our Cabernet Sauvignon plantings to add new dimensions to this already gorgeous and serious wine. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Country: Spain; Region: Tarragona; Size: 750ml; Somdinou Red is a young unoaked red wine made with grapes from vines that are more than 75 years old in vineyards located more than 300 meters above sea level. The grapes are manually harvested in early October then clear pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at 28 degrees C for 38 days producing a vivid ruby colour wine. The minerial-laced cherry and red berry scents are deepened by a hint of licorice. Spicy on entry, then fleshier in the middle, offering black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and subtle smokiness.

Country: Spain; Region: Rioja; Size: 750ml; Eight years after vintage, this wine is drinking beautifully. A blend of Tempranillo, Mazuelo (Carignan) and Garnacha (Grenache), it's impressively structured and promises to show well to 2020 and beyond. In the meantime, though, its juicy and vibrant red and black fruit and long, spicy finish are ready to wow tonight with a hearty meat stew or charcuterie.

Country: Spain; Region: Ribera del Duero; Size: 750ml; The 2006 Valbuena is a blend of 80 Tempranillo with 20 Merlot and Malbec. It has great volume and intensity on the nose, yet it is never overbearing. Fragrant aromas of maraschino, dark plum and orange peel are extremely pure and upon further examination, there is an attractive seam of minerality. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple, citrus-fresh entry. Crisp delineation, edgy dark cherry and cassis flavors intermingled with sour lemon that leads to a very assertive, angular finish. It will require two or three years to smooth out the edges but it will be fascinating to plot its evolution.

Vega-Sicilia, 'Valbuena 5', Tempranillo Ribera del Duero 2007

Country: Spain; Region: Ribera del Duero; Size: 750ml; The 2007 Valbuena is rounded and warmer than the 2006 with lush dark berry fruits interlaced with scents of espresso and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, crisp acidity with a composed, focused finish of black cherries, raspberry, cedar and mocha. The 2007 has great precision and focus. It is more feminine and assured than the 2006, but one senses that it is holding something back to charm consumers in five or six year's time. This is very impressive.

Vega-Sicilia, 'Valbuena 5', Tempranillo Ribera del Duero 2008

Country: Spain; Region: Ribera del Duero; Size: 750ml; The 2008 Valbuena is produced with Tempranillo and 7 Merlot and Malbec from a cold, rainy season and late harvest. It reminds me of the Riberas of yesteryear, sharper with a slight rusticity, long and sharp. Once fermented, the wine matured for seven months in 20,000-liter oak vats, 12 months in new barriques (equal parts French and American oak), three months in used barrels and then six months in the vats again before being bottled in May 2011. The aromas are subtle, there is fruit, but there is soil and above all there is harmony. The palate is long rather than round, with some blood orange notes, sharp and austere, a serious wine that should age very well.

Vega-Sicilia, 'Valbuena 5', Tempranillo Ribera del Duero 2009

Country: Spain; Region: Ribera del Duero; Size: 750ml; The 2009 Valbuena was harvested early, the result of a warm summer. It's mostly Tempranillo complemented with 5 Merlot. The wine matured for five months in 20,000-liter oak vats, 16 months in new barriques (equal parts French and American oak), four months in used barrels and then four more months in the vats before being bottled in May 2011. 180,000 bottles produced. It has some reductive notes and would benefit from some time in a decanter, where you'd start appreciating its background of cherries which feels very classical and serious. The palate is well-built, with polished tannins, very good acidity and freshness with elegance and fine tannins. Mature and with good typicity.

Vega-Sicilia, 'Valbuena 5', Tempranillo Ribera del Duero 2010

Country: Spain; Region: Ribera del Duero; Size: 750ml; This Valbuena has almost 100 components in it, smaller lots, all of them corresponding to a plot of vines. It has all the signs of being one of the best vintages ever for this second wine from Vega Sicilia, mostly Tempranillo but with 5 Merlot that matured five months in 20,000-liter oak vats, 18 months in new barriques (equal parts French and American oak), three months in used barrels and then five months in the vats again before being bottled in May 2013. 2010 seems to have the exuberance of the 2011 and the seriousness and elegance of 2009. It has the Burgundian philosophy of terroir, with all plots fermented and aged separately, giving each vineyard what it needs in terms of vinification and elevage resulting in something like 40 separate lots to blend. This wine has gained in precision and sharpness, and is very pure with delineated aromas and flavors. It is a world-class wine, possibly the best Valbuena ever.

Red - Italy

Veneto

Country: Italy; Region: Veneto; Size: 750ml; This is an Italian red for Pinot Noir lovers. Valpolicella is known for being somewhat light; but far from being flimsy and fruity, the Ripasso style boast more density and complexity than an entry-level Valpolicella, as it absorbs richness and flavor from post-Amarone raisins during the vinting process. This one in particular is silky and bright, with food-friendly Italian acidity highlighting plush red fruit flavors. Nuances of earth and an autumn forest contrast nicely with chocolate and mocha notes.

Country: Italy; Region: Veneto; Size: 750ml; Concentrated aromas of ripe blueberries, blackberries and cherries are enhanced with a hint of spicy oak. The palate is rich, full bodied and complex;beautifully balanced and lingering.

Trentino-Alto Adige

Country: Italy; Region: Trentino-Alto Adige; Size: 750ml; Brilliant ruby red, with attractive depth and decent length. The aromas are alcohol and fruit-rich when the wine is young, later mellowing with bottle age into ripe plum fruit layered over a faintly grassy background note. Dry, soft and well-balanced on the palate, it reveals a pleasing bitterish twist in the finish. Good aromatic length.

Tenuta San Leonardo, 'San Leonardo' IGT Cabernet Blend Dolomiti 1994

Rating: RP 93; Country: Italy; Region: Trentino-Alto Adige; Size: 750ml; The 1994 San Leonardo is born from a classic vintage that awarded good results to those who took care to harvest at peak ripeness. The harvest came early forcing farmers to work intensely in a shorter amount of time. The fruit purity is proudly on display with pretty tones of dried cherry, red currant, chopped mint, cola, toasted almond and Indian spice. In the mouth, the wine shows polished tannins with very focused mineral definition on the close.

Tenuta San Leonardo, 'San Leonardo' IGT Cabernet Blend Dolomiti 1995

Rating: RP 95; Country: Italy; Region: Trentino-Alto Adige; Size: 750ml; From another very sunny and dry vintage, the 1995 San Leonardo is an excellent wine with enormous power, intensity and determination. This edition shows muscle and brawn with dark cherry and blackberry followed by spice, leather and tobacco. The wine shows bold structure and a compact build with tannins that are firm and structured. San Leonardo has not completed its evolution and still offers youthful points of bright fruit.

Tenuta San Leonardo, 'San Leonardo' IGT Cabernet Blend Dolomiti 1996

Rating: RP 92; Country: Italy; Region: Trentino-Alto Adige; Size: 750ml; From a cool vintage, the 1996 San Leonardo is a wine of minute details and budding complexity. The quality of fruit shines bright and the wine boast beautifully balanced acidity that adds energy and a great sense of vertical lift or buoyancy. Small fruit nuances are embellished by more substantial layers of tobacco, cola, mint and dusty mineral. The wine evolves slowly in the glass, producing many enticing aromatic layers that peel back slowly one at a time.

Tenuta San Leonardo, 'San Leonardo' IGT Cabernet Blend Dolomiti 1997

Country: Italy; Region: Trentino-Alto Adige; Size: 750ml; The 1997 San Leonardo comes from a landmark vintage that was characterized by warm temperatures and very little rainfall. In fact, 1997, 1995 and 1990 are similar in terms of the general lack of rain. Of course, that dryness helped to contribute to greater concentration and intensity of fruit. This is a powerful and gorgeous expression that bursts open with dark fruit aromas, spice, leather, cola, tar, licorice, wet earth, porcino mushroom and grilled herbs. Of particular beauty are the delicate floral tones of violet and rose that linger softly in the background. The wine is full and generous with excellent tannin management. There are no sharp edges here. Instead, the wine is round and soft on the palate. This is a true standout that will stand the test of time.

Tenuta San Leonardo, 'San Leonardo' IGT Cabernet Blend Dolomiti 1999

Country: Italy; Region: Trentino-Alto Adige; Size: 750ml; The 1999 San Leonardo marks the first vintage made by consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini who took over after Giacomo Tachis. The 1998 vintage of San Leonardo was not produced. The wine is full and generous but doesn't reach the same dizzying complexity as 1990, 1995 and 1997. The vintage saw low rainfall, but the growing cycle remained on track from flowering to harvest. This edition is soft and yielding from the start with dark fruit, leather, spice and cola. It's a big picture wine painted in broad brush strokes.

Brovia DOCG Nebbiolo Barolo 2012

Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; obacco, incense, crushed rocks and dried flowers fuse into a juicy, expressive core of dark fruit. Stands out for its balance and overall sense of harmony. Brovia's straight Barolo is at once highly nuanced – which makes it approachable young – yet also structured and powerful, especially on the finish. Over the last few years this has been one of the very best entry-level Baroli. The Barolo is essentially a blend of all of Brovia's single-vineyard wines and is aged in Slavonian cask.

Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; The 2009 La Villa (Barbera, Nebbiolo) fleshes out beautifully on the palate with layers of expressive dark fruit, flowers, spices and mint. This is a gorgeous La Villa endowed with tons of class and intensity. The presence of Nebbiolo gives the wine its underlying structure and adds a measure of perkiness on the finish.

Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; Bruno Rocca's 2010 Barbaresco Rabajà is quite closed in on itself, which is hardly surprising given the personality of this state. Intense veins of chalk support an exciting, beguiling melange of white truffle, white pepper, leather, plum and espresso. Rabaà is one of the rare sites in Piedmont that can give wines extraordinary aromatic complexity, and the 2010 is a perfect example of that. The 2010 impresses for its nuance and personality, but it needs at least a few years in bottle to fully blossom. With time in the glass, the wine opens up beautifully, but the best is still to come.

Bruno Rocca, 'Maria Adelaide' DOCG Nebbiolo Barbaresco 2009

Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; Rocca's 2009 Barbaresco Maria Adelaide is a terrific wine, especially for a vintage that was so challenging. Sweet tobacco, mint, cherries and spices are some of the notes that emerge from a resonant Barbaresco endowed with serious depth and power. The 70% new oak barrels are very well integrated, even at this early stage.

Rating: RP 95; Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; From one of the region's most celebrated vineyards, the 2009 Barolo Brunate lavishes on smoky, granite and mineral notes that make this wine absolutely irresistible. Even the drawing of a snail on the label seems to hammer home one obvious point: This wine is built for longer cellar aging. Its rich texture, velvety feel and firm structure are guarantees that it will become increasingly elegant and finessed with time.

Rating: RP 93; Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; The 2004 Barbaresco reveals fresh, perfumed aromatics that lead to layers of crushed flowers, spices and sweet raspberries. This is a wine of rare class, elegance and pure breed. It offers outstanding length and silky, elegant tannins to round out the inviting finish.

Soft and seamless on the palate, the Barbaresco shows wonderful integrity in its fruit in an opulent, yet mid-weight style. Fragrant, perfumed aromatics are woven throughout, while an attractive spiciness develops in the glass. There is incredible depth to the fruit and simply phenomenal overall balance.

Angelo Gaja DOCG Nebbiolo Barbaresco 2012

Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; The 2012 Barbaresco shows different DNA from its previous incarnations. Angelo Gaja usually blends fruit from 14 vineyard sites to make this wine. Starting with this vintage, he has opted to reduce that number to eight vineyards instead. The change is subtle, but you can taste it. At this young stage in the wine's life I was unsure of the results. This Barbaresco is more austere, thorny and nervous compared to the super supple and rich vintages of the immediate past. The nose shows dark fruit follow by cola, garden herb and white pepper. The mouthfeel is silky and firm and edgy.

Country: Italy; Region: Piedmont; Size: 750ml; The 2001 Sperss is the alter ego to the Conteisa. It is a decidedly powerful, virile wine with plenty of Serralunga muscle in its powerful, brooding personality. Tobacco, mint, crushed flowers, licorice and leather are some of the notes that add complexity and depth to the dark fruit. Layers of flavor build to the explosive finish.

Dark red fruit, iron, tar, smoke, wild flowers and minerals are all wrapped aroud a serious intense, mid-palate and finish. Today the 2008 comes across as a bit tightly wound, but that is the personality of the year. The balance of fruit, structure and oak is superb. Layers of fruit flow through to the firm, authoritative finish. This is impressive juice.

Like the other wines in Luca's portfolio of new releases, this Barolo is years away from its prime drinking potential. The next ten years should see a steady evolution of aromas stemming from the spice, tar and licorice layers already on display despite the wine's young age. The mouthfeel is fine and polished with a great sense of purity and balanced freshness.

The bouquet is gorgeous thanks to the never-ending aromas of dark fruit, licorice and balsam herb that peel off the top. The Lazzarito vineyard in Serralunga d'Alba is characterized by thick soils and deep shifts between daytime and nighttime temperatures. These are important factors that lead to quality fruit despite the summer heat.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia, 'Ornellaia' DOC Cabernet Blend Bolgheri 2013

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; What appeared to be a disadvantage for the 2013 vintage – late budding and flowering – proved to be a major advantage thanks to a warm summer and month of September offering textbook conditions for harvesting, with cool temperatures but a prevalence of sunny weather. This resulted in slow but complete ripening with great balance and a delightful aromatic quality, which we like to define as "Elegance". Ornellaia 2013, with its dense, vibrant colour, has a nose of splendid aromatic complexity built around a limpid and brilliant fruitiness, underscored by refined spicy and balsamic notes. The mouth develops vibrant and complex fruity nuances framed by a dense, slender structure with tannins that attain a rare harmony between firmness and fleshiness, concluding with a long balanced and fresh finish.

Rating: 96-IWS,95-WA; Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; This is the most compact and austere of the three Brunello from Pieve Santa Restituta, and Sugarille is the wine that requires the longest ageing.

The aromas are presented in kaleidoscope effect so that many bright colors blend into one. Second, is the mouthfeel that is as supple, rich and persistent as you should expect of a wine of this pedigree. Lastly, is the wine's aging potential that is already evident in terms of the integrated acidity and the richness of the tannins. In fact, the tannins are absolutely gorgeous here: They are silky, refined and delightful. It's not the greatest Masseto ever made, but it performs beautifully nonetheless.

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio alle Mura pushes the Brunello boundaries to an extreme.

This was a difficult vintage that shows beautifully in this bottling. A dark, inky appearance gives way to bold aromas of pressed fruit, prune and dark spice. The tannins show a degree of softness and are utterly void of that green, astringent after-bite you sometimes get with Brunello. Tangy black pepper and licorice add liveliness to the long finish.

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; The color is ruby red with garnet overtones, the nose is broad and determined with typical varietal aromas. In the mouth it is harmonious and persistent.

La Fiorita DOCG Sangiovese Brunello di Montalcino 2007

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; The wine has an intense purple-red colour; it expresses fresh plum and berry fruit aromas that gradually give way to balsamic sense. The touch is powerful, rich of juice while well provided of fragrant tannins and of acidic backing.

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; Intense ruby red colour, very subtle and fragrant aromas with light hints of red berries and stronger sensations of chocolate and liquorice. Close-nit, velvety tannins on the palate with chocolate, blueberries and a hint of vanilla in the aftertaste. A tangy and lingering wine, complex and stylish thanks to the excellent blending of tannins from the wine and the oak.

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; ABV: 13.5%; Size: 750ml; An intense ruby red in color with purple highlights, the 2013 Tignanello shows a nose of great red fruit intensity along with highly pleasurable notes of vanilla, chocolate, and leather from the well balanced contribution and fusion of the aromas of the oak. The spicy and balsamic sensations which give additional complexity are also quite important. The wine is ample and enveloping on the palate with supple tannins and a savory freshness which fully respects the character and personality of the Sangiovese grape. The balance between acidity and tannins is excellent, and the finish and aftertaste are of a lovely length and persistence.

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Drop-dead gorgeous! One of the world's great wines to try before you die. Generous aromas of dark fruit, exotic spice, mint, and savoury meaty notes. Such incredible resonance across the palate: the flavours just play with each other for your pleasure. Then it all finishes in a spectacular fireworks of flavour and hedonism.

Marchese Antinori, 'Solaia' IGT Cabernet Blend Tuscany 2012

Country: Italy; Region: Tuscany; Size: 750ml; 75 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Sangiovese and 5 Cabernet Franc. An intense ruby red in color with purple highlights, the nose of the wine is dominated by varietal notes of excellent freshness and an elegant intensity. The 2012 Solaia has a classic style and is characterized on the palate by the pleasurable harmony of flavors created by a fine balance between acidity and tannins and high level fruit which lasts from the initial impact through to the lengthy finish and aftertaste. A grand personality and a great persistence make the finish exceptionally complex and vibrant.

Southern Italy

le Masciare, 'Campi Taurasini' DOC Aglianico Irpinia 2012

Country: Italy; Region: Campania; Size: 750ml; A late ripening varietal, the Campi Taurasini has medium tannins and a firm structure. Aromas and flavours of black fruits, smoke and dark chocolate are common. These wines can age beautifully in the bottle for years, and are generally recommended to be consumed not earlier than 2,5-3 years after the harvest, to enable the wine to develop its bouquet and mid-palate. As it ages the fruit becomes more pronounced and the tannins more balanced. At maturity, Campi Taurasini displays a deep garnet colour and rich, satiny texture developing rich game, earth and dark fruit qualities.

Masseria Surani by Tommasi, 'Dionysos', Primitivo Manduria 2011

Country: Italy; Region: Puglia; Size: 750ml; Intense deep ruby red color with hints of plum, blackberry and raspberry, the nose has spicy notes of coffee, pepper and chocolate. On the palate it is fine, pleasant and elegant, of good intensity, persistence and velvet tannins.

Bottle

Passopisciaro, 'Passorosso' IGT Nerello Mascalese Sicily 2014

Country: Italy; Region: Sicily; Size: 750ml; There is this languid quality in the wines of 2014. In them, there is a massive quality, full-bodied with powerful aromas that hover just above the surface of the wine, instead of leaping out of the glass. It's apparent that the wine is dense, yet soft; it has the aroma of sandalwood, and each month it shows the same grand, free quality, which seems to defy the laws of gravity. The perfume of sandalwood in the 2014 vintage softens the more typical aromas of citrus fruits and camphor, typical of the lavas of Etna.

C$135.00

Bottle

Terre del Principe, 'Piancastelli' IGT Terre Del Volturno 2011

Country: Italy; Region: Campania; ABV: 13%; Size: 750ml; dark red, with ruby reflections. On the nose there are dried plum's, blackberry's, chocolate's and black pepper flavours, made more sophisticated by very light oriental fragrances of incense. In the mouth this wine is mellow and fresh, with the Casavecchia's tannins balanced by black Pallagrello. In the long lasting finish come back the likeable oriental fragrances.

Country: France; Region: Burgundy; Sub-Region: Cote de Beaune; Size: 750ml; The 2011 Vincent Sauvestre Savigny-Les-Beaune Premier Cru Les Lavieres expresses pretty aromas of ripe cherry, smoke, candied strawberry, barnyard, orange zest and loam. It has fantastic body and lovely purity with great acidity and spice on the finish. This has the potential to last 10-15 years in the cellar but it's also very approachable right now.

Country: France; Region: Burgundy; Sub-Region: Cote de Beaune; Size: 750ml; This is the most substantial of the red wines of the domaine. It carries the most color, the most weight and the most structure. Still, it retains the essentially silky, seductive qualities that mark the offerings of this domaine.

Country: France; Region: Burgundy; Sub-Region: Cote Chalonnaise; Size: 750ml; Lorenzon's best plot. This has an intense, stylish floral nose with cherries and mint. Rich, spicy, full-bodied and broad on the palate, it is concentrated but not heavy, with complexity, energy and drive. Very long.

C$221.00

Jean Grivot, 'Aux Lavieres', Pinot Noir Nuits-Saint-Georges 2011

Country: France; Region: Burgundy; Sub-Region: Cote de Nuits; Size: 750ml; Here there is some reduction present but notes of spice and earth are still visible. There is a really lovely mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that are admirably pure and well-balanced. Moreover the firm underlying tannins are unusually silky, all wrapped in a lightly mineral-inflected finish. Good stuff.

Country: France; Region: Burgundy; Sub-Region: Cote de Nuits; Size: 750ml; (from 70+ year old vines). An expressive nose combines both wood and natural spice elements that add considerable interest to the notably ripe nose cassis, plum and violets. There is excellent richness, size and weight to the very round and suave medium-bodied flavors that possess beautiful depth on the mouth coating finish where the abundant dry extract renders the supporting structure more pliant than it really is. Lovely potential here.

Country: France; Region: Rhone Valley; Size: 750ml; From the single vineyard lieu dit Geynale parcel in the Reynard sector planted by Vincent's great grandfather. Some vines here are prephyloxera, over 100 years old. 100 whole cluster fermented, tiny yields around 22hl/ha. This has even more matiere (literally "material", a good French word meaning terroir driven substance), an even more pronounced minerality. It is a black hole of deep black fruits and violets, with even finer tannin structure than the 60. This is quite literally as good as Cornas gets, folks; as good if not surpassing the knockout 2010.

Country: France; Region: Rhone Valley; Size: 750ml; Spectacular! Savoury meaty notes and graphite on the nose bloom into fleshy black plums and happiness. Full-bodied and supple yet this one will go the distance in the cellar. The concentration is rich and deep and the finish is long and satisfying. Superb craftsmanship.

C$125.00

Bottle

Chateau la Nerthe, Grenache Blend Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2013

Country: France; Region: Rhone Valley; Size: 750ml; A wine with a beautiful dark color, with purple reflections. On the nose, we are seduced by the intensity and the purity of the fruit, by the discrete perception of the aromas coming from the ageing in barrels, by the touch of velvet that bring so much complexity. On the palate, the charm continue to operate. The wine is perfectly balanced, fleshy, round, structured, but still dominated by this finese and precision that makes it accessible. The finish is long with hints of sweetness, fruit paste, and sweet spices.

C$158.00

Bottle

Château de Beaucastel, Grenache Blend Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2001

Country: France; Region: Rhone Valley; Size: 750ml; This inky/ruby/purple-colored cuvee offers a classic Beaucastel bouquet of new saddle leather, cigar smoke, roasted herbs, black truffles, underbrush, and blackberry as well as cherry fruit. It is a superb, earthy expression of this Mourvedre-dominated cuvee.

Bordeaux

Chateau Brande-Bergere, Merlot Blend Bordeaux 2010

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Here is another example of a wine that is punching way above its price in terms of the pleasure delivered. Like all the 2009s, it is no shy retiring flower. It's packed full of fruit and charm, but has that excellent Bordeaux quality of great balance and digestibility.

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; The wine comes in a deep, lively colour. Its nose is spicy with hints of cocoa and coffee. On the palate, it reveals fruity notes with a fine, elegant woodiness, leading to a crisp, fresh and lasting finish.

C$135.00

Bottle

Chateau Barde Haut, 'Grand Cru Classe', Saint emilion 2014

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; An excellent property from the Garcin family, Barde-Haut tends to be an over-achieving estate, with Hélène Garcin and her husband doing a terrific job with their vineyard planted with 90 Merlot and 10 Cabernet Franc. The 2012 has a dense ruby/purple color, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and outstanding concentration, with slight, yet noticeable tannins in the finish keeping it still firm.

C$170.00

Bottle

Clos Marsalette, Cabernet blend Pessac Leognan 2014

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; From the empire of the Neippergs, this brilliant 2012 Clos Marsalette has a gorgeous nose of Christmas fruitcake, cedar wood, smoked herbs, blackcurrants and jammy cherries. It is medium to full-bodied, silky smooth, very sexy, complex and a total hedonistic, intellectual turn-on. The complexity and nuances that the Neipperg winemaking team is able to get in all of its wines is amazing. This is a beauty and a major sleeper of the vintage.

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Distinctive floral scents with ripe, black raspberry and plum notes are found in the perfume. On the palate, this wine is soft yet vibrant with a fresh, sweet, black cherry and red licorice finish. Made from a blend of 55 Merlot, 37 Cabernet Franc and 8 Cabernet Sauvignon.

C$353.00

Bottle

Chateau Gazin, Merlot Blend Pomerol 2014

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; The Château Gazin 2014 is a blend of 95 Merlot and 5 Cabernet Franc picked between 19 September and 8 October. I like the freshness on the nose here: more black than red fruit, a little broody and introspective at the moment but well defined with mineral tones coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannin and nicely judged acidity. There is a sense of nonchalance about this Gazin, nothing over-ambitious, something perhaps in keeping with the vintage, uninteresting in replicating the 2009 or 2010, happy in its own skin.

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; This impeccably run, biodynamically farmed estate of Alfred Tesseron goes from strength to strength. The 2012 triumphs once again with its notes of dark plum, blackcurrant, licorice and almost a hint of truffle, its full-bodied, supple tannins, and beautiful, expensive mouthfeel. Complex and deep, this dense ruby/purple-colored wine may not be at the level of the 2009 or 2010, but it is a successful wine in this vintage, and a significant wine in 2012.

C$573.00

Bottle

Chateau Leoville Poyferre, Cabernet Sauvignon Saint-Julien 2005

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Léoville Poyferré's dense ruby/purple 2005 is soft, round and juicy, with lots of blackcurrant fruit, plum and Asian spice. It is medium to full-bodied and, along with Léoville Las Cases and Saint-Pierre, probably one of the best St.-Juliens I tasted in this retrospective. It is surprisingly supple and accessible. Drink it over the next 15 or so years.

C$725.00

Bottle

Chateau Montrose, Cabernet Blend Saint-Estephe 2005

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; The 2005 Montrose has a saturated purple color. As backward as one would expect of a St.-Estèphe, it offers notes of sweet blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, earth, graphite and spice. It is medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, and still a decade away from prime-time drinkability. This 30+ year wine is clearly outstanding.

C$1025.00

Bottle

Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Cabernet blend Pauillac 2010

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; This is pure Cabernet Sauvignon magic with incredible aromas of currants, blackberries and light spices. Tiny hints of hazelnut. Wet earth. Full body, with super velvety tannins. The purity of fruit is breathtaking. It goes on for minutes. This is 94 Cabernet Sauvignon, 6 Merlot. Try after 2017.

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Medium-full colour. Some oak on the nose. Some substance but it lacks a little richness. A bit four-square. Medium body. Decent ripe fruit on the palate. Quite sweet, in fact. Balanced. It lacks a bit of real finesse but quite good.

C$128.00

Bottle

Chateau Haut Bergey, Cabernet Blend Pessac Leognan 2004

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; A top-notch effort from proprietress Hélène Garcin, Haut-Bergey's 2004 exhibits an evolved, cedary, smoky, tobacco, and sweet cherry-scented bouquet offered in a medium-bodied, supple-textured style. It is not as big or forceful as the 2005 nor as structured as the 2006, but rather it is evolved, seductive, and ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.

C$128.00

Bottle

Chateau Haut Bergey, Cabernet Blend Pessac Leognan 2012

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Attractive, soft cassis and tobacco-leaf notes mixed with licorice and spice are present in this dense ruby/plum wine. It is medium-bodied with soft tannin and a relatively smooth, velvety texture, finish and opulence, giving this wine an up-front appeal.

C$128.00

Chateau Fontenil, Merlot Blend Fronsac 2009

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; Notes of black raspberries, spring flowers, blueberries, and a hint of blackberries; rich and full-bodied with admirable definition and precision, sweet tannin, and a long finish of over 35 seconds.

C$165.00

Chateau Fontenil, Merlot Blend Fronsac 2010

Country: France; Region: Bordeaux; Size: 750ml; The 2010 Fontenil displays loads of crushed rock and floral notes intermixed with raspberries, red currants and some darker fruits such as blueberries. It is medium to full-bodied, with relatively soft tannins but good acidity, ripeness and focus. It should drink nicely for at least a decade.

Country: Italy; Size: 750ml; The true superior marsala, the most famous one in the world, is produced in the centuries-old Florio cellars from Grillo and Catarratto grapes. Aged for 30 months in old oak barrels, more than that required for compliance with the controlled designation of origin requirements, to create an inimitable and extremely versatile wine.

Kettle Valley, 'Caboose', Malbec blend Naramata NV

Country: Canada; Region: British Columbia; Sub-Region: Okanagan Valley; Size: 750ml; Fortified blend of Malbec and Petit Verdot grapes from our King Drive vineyard on the Naramata Bench. The grapes were hand picked at approximately 24 brix. The wine was barrel aged in French oak. Caboose is made in a Solera style which is a system of wine aging developed by the Spanish and Portuguese as a way to provide wines of a constant average age, as well as to ensure a certain homogeneity of product over different vintages. In this system a portion of the aging wine is bottled and then replaced with the wine from the current vintage.

Excellent dining experience! The food was amazing. John, our waiter, was awesome! Funny guy. He made our experience even better. Great way to kick off my birthday week.

There was only one thing i didn't like that took me and my wife moods away.

There was an Asian waitress that came up to our table and she made a smerk or like a chuckle sound and it killed the mood.worse part was she was standing infront of out table lokking at us then quickly walked away. I quote i told my wife "wtf is her problem " I was going to tell my waiter but my wife asked me not too. Our dinner wasn't the same after that maybe cause were hands on our food we felt as she laughed at us. We felt abit uncomfortable by her afterwards so we passed on dessert made up an excuse to go get ice cream.

Always a pleasure to dine at Gotham. Everything was perfect and my guests were impressed. Thank you. Great Bar also!

Was looking forward to the lunch menu here and was disappointed in the food. My wife ordered the Thai salad and the meat was chewy and hard. We’re at a steakhouse, unacceptable. Also, my friend and I ordered the burgers because we heard they were great and the meat was over cooked and the bacon was undercooked. Not a big deal but I asked for no tomato on the burger and I got one. The wait for our food also took extremely long. We waited about 40 minutes for the food to arrive. There was no one else in the restaurant mind you. Thoroughly disappointed in the experience. Especially for the amount we paid, we expected sharp service and food.
